BJP Chief Amit Shah to visit Odisha in April

Bhubaneswar: BJP National President Amit Shah has planned to visit Odisha for three days in April. Though Shah’s detailed tour is not yet finalized, as per sources he would hold multiple rallies and chair important meeting with the State party leaders.

He would hold discussions to chalk out key strategies to take on Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Naveen Patnaik, whose government has been ruling, uninterrupted for 17 years.

As per sources, following the recent success of BJP in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and formation of governments in four states, Shah is looking forward for getting electoral success in the East as well.

However, it is also significant for Amit Shah to visit the state after gaining strong foothold in the recent panchayat polls by the saffron party. The visit also indicates towards the party’s desire for strengthening its hold in the State before commencement of 2019 Assembly election.
